Community Partnerships

Calgary Meals on Wheels is proud to work with a variety of community organizations, providing nutritious and affordable meals through our Group Meal Program.

Alpha House – Funded by United Way of Calgary and Area, we provide 60 supper meals for six days a week to two Alpha House residences. This partnership serves individuals whose lives are affected by alcohol and other drug dependencies. The Group Meals allow these individuals to focus on their road to recovery.

Calgary Police Service – As one of the partner agencies involved with the Integrated School Support Project (link to http://newsroom.calgary.ca/news/unique-approach-taken-to-support-students-and-families-in-forest-lawn), we provide approximately 250 breakfasts and more than 425 lunches each week to two elementary schools.

Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) – We provide frozen meals, entrees, baked goods, and soups to augment “meals on wheels” activity in surrounding areas. Currently we work with FCSS in Cochrane, Strathmore, and Wheatland County.

Schools – We work with Parent Councils to provide Group Meals to schools without sufficient kitchen or staff resources.

We also have a number of schools, agencies, and senior residences who call upon our Group Meal Program for one-time events and gatherings throughout the year, including:
